North Woods Village of Kalamazoo

Licensed Memory Care Assisted Living in Kalamazoo, MI

It all begins with the resident's life story

Every relationship we have with a resident at North Woods Village Memory Care of Kalamazoo, MI, begins with his or her life story. In short, we get to know our residents. We talk with families, ask questions, and learn about each individual's life. Most importantly, we listen. We learn about the family, the resident's profession, passions, interests, what they love to do, what inspires them, fulfills them, and makes them happy. We carry that information in our heads and our hearts, and that knowledge shapes everything we do for that resident.

Thus, knowing such personal information enables us to tailor our programming to each resident's individual tastes, interests, and abilities. As a result, our residents get to participate in their favorite hobbies, pastimes, and other pursuits that provide them with fulfillment, self-confidence, and pride.

As an example, if one of our residents loves to cook, we will develop and implement cooking activities. If another individual enjoys bird-watching, we will offer a bird-watching activity. Again, these specialized programs will be designed to promote success, emphasizing each individual's strengths and abilities, and fostering a sense of accomplishment.

Personalized, Resident-Centered Care

Likewise, our staff members are encouraged to get to know each resident on a personal basis. It's comforting to our residents to see familiar faces every day and build friendships they can count on.
